collwenif you like John Ringo and his books...
John Ringo had his novel 'Ghost" nominated for best romance (WTF?!?!, that was my reaction too Ragnar) in some poll.
He is offering a spectacular death for voters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it, I'm offering real red-shirts, blood and gore, for votes.
I'll put all the names of people who voted in the Space Bubble file. For males I've got Ranger (or possibly Force Recon, haven't decided) straightforward redshirts (they even, on certain planets, wear red camo uniforms) or SF bodyguard/tech specialists. (SF with some hard science background.) I also have a few scientific slots for people who can show that they've communicated with internet friends and brought them in for additional votes.
For females, I've got non-combat roles that will still permit you to go down fighting but dead, dead, dead nonetheless. No wholesale redshirting (ie "The Cutthroat"). Each person will die an awesome, on camera, full up, death with gore. Guaranteed. If not in Space Bubble than in another book.
Step up to the plate, people, if you want to go down in posterity with your guts being used for dental floss!
:-)
